We met several months ago and just introduced our two dogs equaling 4 dogs in total. Hers are very large and very majestic. Mine are small, cute and friendly. Who says that dogs don’t give off energy? They were so sweet together and we will now start walking together each week.
Yes greatly. It turned out to be a conversational walk and I ran into two old friends on a beautiful day at a park overseeing the ocean. Wow!

I appreciate having houses in NY & now home in HI. The opportunity to buy a unit in my mom/sisterʻs building on the same floor is so amazing; meant to be to give me back a home at home.
Makes me appreciate the wealth I have

Watched the sun rise on a cold frosty morning
Reminded me of how amazing and beautiful the world is, that there is still magic in new beginnings, that I don’t need to do anything or fix anything for the sun to come up 😊

Grateful that I went over to my mom's place on Sunday to say goodbye to my cat Cleo. I held her, gave her kisses and hugs, and I told her that I love her. She passed away today.
I am truly grateful that I had the opportunity to say goodbye to her beforehand.

I'm grateful to my housemate and friend N for inviting me to join her for dinner tonight. She cooked an amazing, delicious and wholesome meal. I'm very grateful to be included in enjoying it.
This made me really feel like N and I are building community in our home, and that we'll be "there" for each other.

My dog has been coughing non stop. I’m grateful to my wonderful veterinarian for helping her and helping me to help my pup. We have an action plan to get her healthy again

Enthusiastically volunteered to follow up on getting engineers to fix the chair lift so I could get in/out of the pool for aquatherapy.
Hopefully get back into the pool sooner rather than later.

In one of the committees in which I'm involved we take turns sending Inspirations to the department. Today has been a rough day to say the least. Then one of my coworkers sent out her Inspiration. It was so encouraging and beautiful!! I sent an email back to her telling her how much it meant to me.
Really lifted the gloom that had tried to settle.

I send out little graphic check-ins each day to several friends to keep in touch in these trying times, and a friend with mental health issues thanked me for being a consistent daily beacon in his life.
I felt warm and fuzzy, I know it takes a lot for him to show gratitude so it makes it that much more special

Members of my halau here in NY are wonderful. Having the opportunity to dance together regularly always feels good.
We dance together almost every week, & it always feels good, as well as gives me a means to connect w/my culture/roots.

Grateful for a lovely hike and picnic lunch yesterday at Pt Reyes Nat'l Seashore with my mom and friends.
It felt good to ring in the new year with my mom, friends, on a hike, in my favorite place. And, good food too!
